title: Nanodots array rapidly fabricated by Dip-Pen nanolithography with temperature and humidity control.
abstract: This study demonstrates the advantage of Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) as a research and design tool for metal nano-structure fabrications. We design two different gold nano-structures, which are fabricated by DPN etching method with temperature and humidity control. The plasmon resonance frequencies of both structures are measured with dark field scattering spectroscopy. Our results show that with temperature and humidity control, DPN is highly potential in developing photonic circuit, solar cell and biomedical devices due to the rapid fabrication and cost effectiveness.
